Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!

We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

Yep, that’s what I thought when I saw the news. South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s... I read this and think, “Could building owner have driven this to clear out building?”

Cutting HIV prevention to save money?

Brilliant—if your goal is more infections, higher costs, and undoing a decade of progress.

But hey, who needs science anyway?

Funding cuts to US HIV preventive services could lead to thousands more cases, billions in costs
